Chapter 450: Our Hyunsung (2)

“Blue Guild Master?”

“Uh…”

The two men standing beside me looked dumbfounded.

He didn’t say anything else, but he seemed to be asking why I was there. I had the same question.

I couldn’t even imagine meeting that guy while he was walking in the middle of the city alone.

‘Whew. You righteous bastard.’

There was a high probability that he couldn’t put up with seeing two strong young men harassing a woman. After all, it happened in front of him.

“I’ll introduce myself first, Blue Guild Master. But this is not what the Blue Guild Master thinks. There seems to be some misunderstanding. We are the Friendship Clan of Lindel…”

“Isn’t the woman not liking it? I don’t know what’s going on, but I think you’d better stop here.”

“Kiyeon. Say something…”

He was looking for help, but the timing of cutting ties had already passed a long time ago.

When my wrist was free, I hurriedly moved to the place where Kim Hyunsung was.

I looked like trash, but I thought I had finally got rid of them.

“Thank you for your help, Blue Guild Master.”

I switched sides as if it had all been planned.

“Kiyeon!”

“Cheol-woo, the expedition was fun, but I think that’s it. I hope you can think of how rude what you just did was. I will ensure that the obtained item will be sent immediately upon disposal. I think it would be better for me to contact you after you’ve cooled off.”

“Then…”

“I hope to meet you with a smile the next time we meet.”

As I finished speaking, I saw their faces turning pale.

Lee Cheol-woo, who was about to cry, looked a little pitiful, but my business with them was over.

I checked everything that could be checked, and overall, I was able to figure out the level of the adventurers and what kind of life they were living. There was no reason to go with them anymore.

Cutting ties had always been a grim endeavor.

Lee Cheol-woo, who glanced at me, soon realized that Kim Hyunsung was quietly looking at him and politely bowed his head.

“… I’m sorry, Kiyeon. I didn’t mean to hurt you… As you said, it would be nice to cool our heads a bit before meeting again. I really enjoyed this expedition together, and I hope we can meet again. I will wait at the dorms we stayed yesterday, so you can send the auction money there. Then…”

“Yes. Goodbye. I will not send you off.”

He looked like he had just lost a country.

Kim Daegun, who was at a loss for words, also bowed to me and followed Lee Cheol-woo. Kook Minji did the same.

After the very brief amusement, I looked at Kim Hyunsung, but he didn’t seem to be looking at me.

‘He didn’t notice?’

Although there were options to hurriedly leave or reveal that I was Lee Kiyoung, meeting like that also wasn’t bad.

I wondered what Kim Hyunsung was thinking about recently and where and what the hell he was doing. I also thought about the possibility of being caught in the middle, but…

‘He’s really slow, isn’t he?’

It was unlikely that he would notice my disguise unless I openly gave a hint. Even at that moment, he wasn’t suspicious of me. It was the exact opposite of Park Deokgu.

Hyunsung looked at me without ulterior motive, nodded, and started going his own path.

‘What. You’re already going?’

Absurdly enough, it was me who felt the urgency to call out to him.

“Blue Guild Master!”

Fortunately, he looked back.

“Yes?”

“Thank you for just now. It was getting a little difficult.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

“Excuse me!”

“Yes.”

“I would like to treat you with a tea as a thank you… Are you free?”

“You don’t have to.”

‘This damn slow bastard!’

I thought I could finally understand why the female group surrounding him made sh*tty faces every day. He was beyond slow.

Park Yeon-joo, Cho Hyejin, Charlotte, and Kim Ye-ri were going to suffer forever.

I could roughly predict how hard they were suffering. I could guarantee that he wouldn’t notice, even if I gave hints with my whole body.

There was no reason to hold onto him. As I smiled at him, he began to look at my face in earnest.

‘What?’

“You look similar.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s nothing. Come to think of it, it seems like this is also fate, so let’s have a little tea, no, a meal.”

My heart sank at that moment. I couldn’t help but be elated by his voice.

‘He knows we’re similar. My heart almost fell.’

My strange resemblance with Light Kiyoung must’ve earned his favor.

Usually, Kim Hyunsung wasn’t someone who would initiate having a meal or tea with others.

On the contrary, if it was a stranger, he avoided or became wary of them.

After so long, his shields eased up a lot, but he wasn’t like that at all when he just popped out of the tutorial.

The reality was that he didn’t even attend meals. I was bound to rejoice a little due to his growth. He had become slightly more amiable.

If he was coming up with such a suggestion simply because someone resembled Light Kiyoung, it meant he still had enough liking for me. That put aside some of my worries.

“Yes. Let’s do that. I’m more than grateful to have dinner with the Blue Guild Master.”

“…”

I could see his face slightly blush. I wanted to make fun of him for some reason.

“Is this a date request?”

“N-No. It’s nothing like that. Such a thing…”

He obviously looked hesitant.

It was a little fun because it felt like usual.

However, this lasted only for a second. He calmed his breathing and looked at me quietly.

“I’m not usually like this. I’m not the type to suggest having meals with others or ask for time, but…”

“Yes?”

“I think I want to do that today.”

‘Hyunsung, aren’t you a player?’

It wasn’t that big deal of a line. However, it was easy enough for a handsome guy like him to prick women’s hearts.

If it weren’t me who was in front of him, I could almost certainly have joined Kim Hyunsung’s harem.

“What a coincidence. The same goes for me.”

“That’s really a coincidence. Then, let’s get going.”

“By the way… Did you come alone?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“The other guild members…”

“They are still working. I’ve only come out to get some fresh air.”

“You must have been frustrated.”

“Yes?”

“That’s usually the reason. When you’re feeling frustrated while working, you come out to get some air, right? That was what I meant. Looking at the expression on your face, you seem to be really frustrated about something… Did I hit the nail right on the head? Huhu.”

“There… might be something making me frustrated. You must be used to reading faces.”

“Not really. However, it seems that the Blue Guild Master is the type to show his emotion on his sleeves…”

“You mean me?”

“Yes. At a glance, you seem to be expressionless, but I think I understand in a way for some reason.”

“This is the first time I have ever heard of such a thing.”

“Really? It’s a little surprising. It seems to me that you’ve heard it a lot from people around you…”

“Haha.”

I could see him smiling warmly, and I was also certain that he had started walking much faster.

However, as I watched him slowing down to keep the same pace I had, I realized that he wasn’t even that boring.

Manners were well established in him, considering he was damn slow. Perhaps it was what women who liked him felt.

‘Hyunsung, fuck. Aren’t you too cool? Knock it off, or else I will fall for you. Bastard. ‘

I also liked that the conversation was going smoother than I thought. He seemed to have improved on his socialization skills as well.

It was like a sudden blind date, but there was no sense of incompatibility. As I felt like I was having a normal conversation, I was able to speak without having to calculate anything.

Maybe that’s the same with him.

Even after entering the restaurant, he acted differently. It wasn’t like him to pull out the chair for others.

“Please, sit down.”

“These manners are burdensome… I guess you are familiar to be with women.”

“No. It’s not like that. I’m not.”

“You don’t have to hide it. It would be even weirder if someone like the Blue Guild Master didn’t have women around him. If not, can I take this as a sign that you want to look good in front of me?”

“Um.”

“I’m joking, I’m joking. I know that you’re not that type of person.”

“How?”

“You’re famous. Oh! Can I order some wine too?”

“Yes. Of course. I invited you to have a meal, after all.”

“Then I won’t hold myself back.”

“Yes.”

I wanted to eat expensive food anyway. All I had eaten lately were things that were hard to say that was good except for those sausages.

‘The atmosphere is good.’

From there on, how I planned the direction of the conversation was important.

It would matter how he thought of me. I had to make myself likable enough to get him to open up to me.

Our lovely returner’s mouth wasn’t talkative enough to tell those to a woman he’d seen for the first time. Rather, considering that it was the opposite, there was a high possibility that he was already drawing a line between us.

‘Should I openly seduce him?’

That one was dismissed.

It was unlikely that a guy who daily enjoyed the harem life with numerous beauties would react.

It might be advantageous to keep some distance. There were some cases where one could say things that they couldn’t say to the person closest to them, but they could to the ones that had maintained some sense of distance.

Considering the likelihood of that happening, that was possible.

First, I would have to talk about my worries. Then, I’d listen to his worries.

It would be best to take that route.

I wanted to get to the main point out immediately, but I didn’t want to make him wary by moving so straightforwardly right from the beginning.

The first step was to enjoy the atmosphere in moderation. The second was to test the waters.

“Were you at the museum?”

“Yes. It was a really nice place. Most of all, I like the Adventurer Insurance. It helps people avoid the worst possible scenario. Of course, I know there will always be risks, but everyone has combat anxiety.”

At this, I started with the most common topic. “In fact, I have seen you from a distance before. I thought you were handsome back then too. You’re really tall. You hear that a lot, right?”

“I don’t hear it much. I do hear it occasionally.”

“Ah, I see.”

I didn’t forget to make some light jokes.

We talked for hours without knowing how much time had passed.

I was worried that he would be bored, but there was no sign of that. Rather, seeing that he was blushing, he looked immersed in the atmosphere.

As the distance between the chairs gradually became closer, the vigilance of his mind seemed to be breaking down.

The problem was…

‘Isn’t this too fucking close?’

I thought I needed to adjust the distance between us a little.
